Linear and nonlinear decoupling using time-dependent transformations

Linear coupling in a storage ring is conveniently analyzed in terms of transformations that put the single-turn map into block-diagonal form. Such a transformation allows us to define new variables, in which the dynamics are uncoupled. In this paper it is shown how a similar approach may be taken to...
